INCOME AND EXPENDITURE.
tnteresttng Excerpt. From . Debate In the
| United states Senate on the Sumdry Civil
| Appropriations lBili-The Sinl<in. Fund
Condition OF Our Scacoast and Lake
| Cities.
WASHINGTON, Feb. a-Tne Senate, shortly
after one clock. resumed consideration Of the
! 5undry Civil Appropriations bill.
MI. Allison chairman OF the committee on
| appropriations, said that the Senator from
Connecticut plat, HAD inquired Of him ycster-
! lay whether or not there would be q surplus
| n the treasury in case Congress made appro-
pria;ions in accordance with the estimates OF
the departments. In his desire to complete the
bill last night he had failed to answer that
inquiry as fully as he might have done. The
| reguisr estimates OF the department IS,
as submitted by the Secretary OF the
| Treasury. amounted lin round numbers)
to S3s6.00aO0o. Since that time there
| had been supplementary and other
| estimates amounting to q considerable sum.
For example. there was an estimate Of near
| ~ sa.0O0,0O0 to carry out the provisions Of the
Mexican Pension bill No estimate had been
| ret submitted. As to the Disabilities Pension
bill, which both houses had passed, but which
aad not yet received the signature Of the Presi-
| tent, II was SJIe 10 assume. however, tn1t
| seven or eight million dollars would be re-
luired for that purpose. Then there had been
| already submitted estimates for DEFICIENCIES
amounting to seven millions more. Sothat the
| total OF the estimates for the next fiscal year
without including miscellaneous appro-
,riations, amounted to s3a5.On,O0. He
, thought it safe to assume. however, that
Congress, would not appropriate fully up to
| the estimates. In further reply to Mr. Plat.

:ess of estimates hitherto made by the depart
| nents in similar cases, and were perhaps in ex-
| cess of the immediate necessities Of he Gov
| eminent.
Mr.. Platt-Do these estimates Of $50. 1000
| include any considerable amount for coast de-
| lenses.
| Mr.. Allison-They include so.O0o.Oao for forth
| fications. The total navy estimate is sa0GO.000
so that assume that these estimates do not in
| cludc what We would regard as a sufficient ex-
penditure for coast Gefcnses or the navy if we
| should enter on that subject.
Mr.. Platt-Five million dollars for fo-tifca-
| tons is practically nothing.
| Mr.. Wilson 1a)-Does this 1895 O,),OOO in
clude the amount that is to be laid aside for the
| sinking fund!
| Mr.. Ailison--That is included.
Mr.. Platt-So that il Congress should deem
| it necessary to expend a larger sum than
| S.OOp.0oo for coast defenses that larger sum
